MTV Video Music Awards 2020: Complete winners list

WATCH: Artists celebrating big night at MTV's Video Music Awards

The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards were unlike anything fans have seen since the ceremony first aired in 1984. Hosted by Keke Palmer, the show was held in various locations around New York City, as well as a soundstage in L.A., to adapt to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The night's big winners included Lady Gaga, BTS and Ariana Grande -- winning four awards each.

Overall, Gaga was named artist of the year and took home the song of the year prize for "Rain on Me," of which she recorded with Grande. As for Grande, fans voted her and Justin Bieber the winner of the VMAs newest category -- best music video from home – for their duet "Stuck with U."

BTS was also a force in this year's award show, scoring big wins such as best group and best pop, the latter of which had them squaring off against Halsey, the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift.

The Weeknd took home the night's other top prize, video of the year, for his single "Blinding Lights."
